"you're not understanding the broad scope here"

i would actually say you aren't as the reality is that only a very small minority of ps3 owners used or even knew about other os ( as it wasn't advertised )

 

"It's not just Sony who's guilty here, either"

exactly thats where you had me confused as no console so far ( to my knowledge ) has allowed the user to move the console between networks


"The only way that the Wii Vitality sensor would be anything like the OtherOS"

from my perspective if you're saying that hyping features like these sways customer interest then both are the same

My suspicions are confirmed, as you're only discussing in terms of OtherOS users, whereas I'm talking about the personal property rights of ALL consumers. And I don't give a shit if the OtherOS users are the majority or the minority. They're consumers, they're entitled to personal property rights on goods that they purchased, and no majority should be allowed to take that away.

It is possible that customer interest MAY have been swayed by the Wii vitality sensor, but show me someone who has purchased one and then got burned by Nintendo's backpedal. Pretty hard to do, considering the vitality sensor was not even released...
